Early Leavers Survey
What is an Early Leaver? Students or potential students who were registered at a post-secondary institution but did not complete their program.
The Ministry of Advanced Education wondered if they could learn more about the reasons these individuals didn't return to their post-secondary studies, and contracted Prairie Research Associates (PRA) Inc., an independent research firm, to develop and conduct this study. The participants in this survey were registered at a post-secondary institution within Saskatchewan in 2015-16, but didn't return to that institution in 2016-17. This was the first survey of this kind done province-wide. From mid December 2018 to early March 2019, individuals were surveyed on-line and by telephone.
The resulting report, "Saskatchewan Post-Secondary Early Leavers" (1.4 MB) can be accessed here.
